Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-9713:
----------------------------------------

s3a does lazy seek already. I'd be reluctant to add that to FsDataInputStream, 
as it might create more confusion. But it would let you do back-to-back 
readFully...

> FSDataInputStream.readFully doesn't work on filesystems without seek -even 
> when the offset==getPos

>          Issue Type: Bug

> {{FSDataInputStream.readFully(offset,data)}} doesn't work even if the 
> offset==the current location -because it always seeks to the offset and seeks 
> back. No seek => Exception.
> We could optimise {{FSDataInputStream.readFully(offset,data)}} to eliminate 
> the seeks on these operations -which would have tangible benefits for those 
> filesystems where seek is expensive (remote blobstores). It would also let 
> you use readFully against filesystems without seeks, provided you are only 
> reading from the current location.
